Str_Replace Modules Problem

[ds111]

Hey everyone

 

  Ok so I have a little problem. I am allowing my users on the site to edit the sidebar and have variables like:

 

  {module.loginform}

  {module.username}

  {module.sitename}

 

etc, etc. In the SQL Database, the code is there for each of them. When they submit the sidebar to the server, it saves it. It usually ends up being something like:

 

Welcome {module.username} to {module.sitename}!

 

I've made a little script that searchs in the database then takes the {modules} and replaces the code for them in the sidebar.

So in the end it SHOULD look like:

 

Welcome <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> to <?php echo $_SESSION['sitename']; ?>!

 

Which outputs:

 

Welcome, Bob to PHP Freaks!

 

But, instead, it outputs as:

 

Bob Welcome to!

 

Here's all the code related to sidebar:

 

//CODE THAT DOES REPLACING:
<?php
class modules {
function findModules($text) {

	require_once('registry/loader.php');
	$loader = new loader;
	$loader->load("connect_db", "function");

	connect_db();
	$query = "SELECT * from modules";
	$run_query = mysql_query($query);
	$num_modules = mysql_num_rows($run_query); 			// Get the number of modules
	$i = 0;				// The index of how many modules we've replaced so far

	while($i != $num_modules) {
		$module_name = mysql_result($run_query, $i, "modname");		// ALWAYS in format: {module.XXXX}  Where XXXX is the module name
		$module_html = mysql_result($run_query, $i, "modhtml");

		$module_html = str_replace('<?php', '',$module_html); // Strip Open PHP Tags
		$module_html = str_replace('<?', '',$module_html); // Strip Open PHP Tags (Other type)

		$module_html = str_replace('?>', '',$module_html); // Strip Closed PHP Tags
		$text = str_replace($module_name, $module_html, $text, $count);
		require_once('registry/functions/function.connect_db.php');

		$count = (int)$count;
		if($count != 0) {
			$text = str_replace($module_html, eval($module_html), $text);

			?>
			<script>
			alert("<?php echo $text; ?>"); //For debug purposes
			</script>
			<?php
		}

		$i++; // Increase amount of modules we've replaced
	}
	/* Done with replacing ALL modules recognized :: return the text*/
	return $text; 
}

}
?>

 

Code that calls it:

require_once('registry/functions/function.connect_db.php');
		connect_db();
		$query = "SELECT * from sidebar WHERE type='guest'";
		$run_query = mysql_query($query);
		$sidebar = mysql_result($run_query, 0, "html");
		require_once('registry/classes/class.modules.php');
		$modules = new modules;
		require_once('templates/'.$_SESSION['skin'].'/sidebar.php');

 

and in sidebar.php it just has <?php echo $sidebar; ?> embedded in some html code.

 

 

I hope I've explained it enough. Can anyone help?

sorry but that was not the problem. for some reason, it was left behind when i posted the message.

 

its a programming challenge, not a human error.
